 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | extra- appends probably but the regular experimental-options sets it? Dunno, just a hunch | 23:44:52 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | But that would be in-line with my expectations | 23:45:07 |
 hexa | https://github.com/helsinki-systems/hydra-queue-runner/pull/5/changes/7184ac1e00b1cb87f1c583325758b27b2da1a939 makes it work | 23:48:09 |

 dramforever | today i learned that binfmt-misc can be set per-userns https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21ca59b365c091d583f36ac753eaa8baf947be6f | 17:36:56 |
| dramforever | i wonder if anyone has looked into using this to isolate emulated builds. currently having binfmt-misc emulators enabled contaminates all the build sandboxes. if we can run builds each with a different set of binfmt-misc emulators that would be a huge improvement over the status quo (and i can get over my fear of enabling emulators on my machine) | 17:38:53 |
| dramforever | seems like we already run builds in a new userns if possible? | 17:40:27 |
 K900 | I do not remember how but binfmt userns is somehow fucked | 17:45:13 |
| dramforever | can we at least disable them for non-emulated builds or something | 17:47:14 |
| dramforever | well, guess i'm going to be wasting weekends looking into how fucked it is | 17:51:56 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | John Ericson and team, I apologize. The correct answer was ni: URLs, IETF RFC 6920 | 22:31:08 |

| 22:32:03 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | For an ni name of the form "ni://n-authority/alg;val?query-string"
the corresponding HTTP(S) URL produced by this mapping is
"http://h-authority/.well-known/ni/alg/val?query-string"
CA storage for NARs and tarballs?

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | No need to retract 2.33 ;) | 22:37:46 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Well this was fun. Enjoy knowing about the existence of ni: URLs | 22:39:07 |

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | That is actually very important, but unfortunately it is not truly optimized for effective transfer over bad radio connections | 23:18:10 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | It's a start | 23:18:38 |

 John Ericson | The use of the semicolon is interesting | 02:38:02 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Nix vibes were in the air in 2013, but they forgot to press shift | 02:38:49 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | the vibes were too faint | 02:39:12 |
| John Ericson | I think mailto urls use semicolon | 02:39:21 |
| John Ericson | I wonder if it is with different precedence | 02:39:35 |
| John Ericson | On Windows search paths use ; | 02:39:42 |
| John Ericson | Time for some fun ni url flakeref in NIX_PATH! | 02:40:10 |
